CS-72 for sale at a store going out of business

[brayski98]

There is a store near me that supposedly lost thier lease and is closing. They have a CS-72 machine inside that appears to be fully restored. They use it to sell sodas to customers. The primary business is other nostalgic items that are new. But they are asking $2950 for it. Seems like quite a bit. I saw an old thread that mentioned $1800.
Are they asking way too much? I can probably post a picture if that would help.

If it is truley a "Completely" restored machine, meaning inside and out, new paint, parts ,etc... then yeah a pretty good deal as they are selling in that range and higher... but if its' just a cosmetic restore... forget it.
Post some photos and this group will pick it apart for you!

I've only seen it in passing and had a soda from it a while back. Here are the photos they took and posted with the ad.

Looks like a cosmetic paint job only... still rust on the inside cabinet, original breaker strips, didn't even paint the inside of the coin door..
Not worth the asking price...

What do you think its worth? Or should I just forget it?

      Here is a good example of misused terminology. The seller stated that this
machine has been RESTORED...... what he really meant to say, is this
machine has been PAINTED only!
      Still a good buy if it were around $1500.00 or so.
